Anybody notice the bad quality of netflix on this phone??
If I had to guess, it would have something to do with the resolution and the larger screen. But yea I noticed that too!

Not true. Use the $25 credit media hub gave you in the box. I just watched roast of Charlie Sheen and it was so crisp!

Yeah, its not the resolution because it looked awesome on the exynos version. I think it has something to do with the way the qualcomm crap renders some codecs
Netflix quality is already pretty terrible. Try loading something in HD and you will notice it is still pretty firm.

There is an update to Netflix in the market. I did the update, then pulled up Tron Legacy. It started out terrible, but then built up the buffer and was fine after that.
Crisp picture
I just tried Netflix and get a very crisp picture. It might have to do with your connections speeds. Even when I stream Netflix at home on my PC, if I don't have a great connection, the picture is downgraded to accommodate whatever bandwidth I have, so every now and then I do get a very bad picture but generally it's pretty good (not great).
netflix looked like **** on my vibrant too hell it looks like **** on my cpu and xbox lol
Netflix picture quality is based on your connection. hell...if your picture is bad at home then you need to do something about your connection. I have great picture quality on my computer and sexbox360!
Netflix looked great on my phone earlier today. Was on WiFi on home and had no issues.

Netflix automatically adjust video quality based on the speed of your internet connection try it again on wifi if it looks bad and it should be better... i doubt its the phone since it handles 1080p blu ray rips fine

The same happened to me
Looked great on my phone....The quality of the image has nothing to do with this device, I can tell you that right now.
If your connection sucks Netflix will give you crap video. I can upload some youtube videos of me watching later.
I completely agree. Before the Update Netflix + Verticle lines issue made it look horrible. I have no problems on my second SGS2 in regards to Netflix streaming quality now.

Are you saying your second phone has a better screen or that the update fixed it?

A little of Both.
The Amaze looked brighter, had better vibrancy and better contrast than my first one.
With this second one the colors really POP..
Honestly the difference is like night and day comparing the two. IMO the verticle lines issue had a lot to do with it looking much lower quality while playing videos.

Strange, I've played several 1080p vids on youtube with no problems, it's very very smooth. Granted I don't have the unlocked version to compare it to, but no complaints here.
Great comparison on the screenshots, do we attribute the washed out colors on the T-mobile version due to the larger screen?
i had the unlocked version and the user interface and experience was much smoother, i sold it and got this basically for the data
however, 1080p videos play fine for me. no lag

I can live with the CPU/GPU being a little weaker with better battery life and a compatible modem. Can you see the difference between 480p and 1080p on a 4 inch screen?
But the fact that the screen is washed out compared to the unlocked one is pretty disappointing.

my first sgs2 looked washed out and had the vertical lines. My second sgs2 looks just as vibrant as that unlocked sgs2 international.

I think the pink background is because t mobile tinted the original pic on some phones to match their color. Can some one upload the orange picture so I can test it?
I would like to see that file too. My wallpaper definitely looks more pink.
The mytouch 4g has a thread discussing variances in screens due to different suppliers; one screen washes out immediately off angle and the other doesn't (don't know how to post the link using xda app). There was a way to figure out what supplier made the screen using the terminal emulator app to link which supplier was the bad screen. so i'm wondering if the same can be done with our phone of in fact we determine there are variances in screens.
It doesn't surprise me if different suppliers were used resulting in differences in the quality of the screen color. We just need to figure out if there are different screen part numbers and if there is a link between the good screen and the bad screen.

Everytime I record a 720 or 1080p video the file size is over 1gb!!! Is this normal, why? Because it's only like a 10 minute video.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Welcome to High Definition. That is just how it is. The file size is HUGE compared to Standard Definition.
I know from all of the HD Footage I edit at school.
Well when I download a YouTube hd video its not huge. Probably compressed though, I guess.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
yea dude sounds about right the other day i took a 1080p vid of my son and it was like 2minutes long at 297mb
Seems quite likely that it's recording at a very high bit rate (which is typical for high-definition video), which, from the two-minute example cited earlier, sounds a lot like 20Mbit video (2.5MB/sec, 150MB/min).
Anyway tk recoff at a lower rate but still hd?

You can try 720p which looks fine tbh. Just don't expect "OMGBBQ" details.
EDIT: Oops, didn't see that you stated you tried 720p also. 720p still should be less than 1080p though...

I think that is probably normal because today HD quality video format actualy need very big memoriez .. like a blue ray disk and many box office movie in HD quality have more great picture quality + sound quality than past format

This is the exact reason Blu-Ray discs have to have a storage capacity upwards of 50 gig ... 1080 video is HUGE ....
Like someone else said ... Welcome to High-Def .....
You can pull them off and "compress" them with divx or xvid, but then you don't have true HD anymore ...
Anybody that thinks they can get true HD with some type of compression (unless some new alien tech has arrived) , is not actually looking at the facts, you can get HD "looking" video, but not true HD ...

I heard it does up to 250fps lol! Try it out guys.

Whoa. Very cool Hadn't checked it out before. And love being able to pop out videos as a window.

nice, but I felt a little underwhelmed. I agree there is power in the phone to be PC replacement. I didn't watch the whole vdieo, so I don't know if he discussed the short comings of what can and can't be done compared to the PC. It's not the fault of the phone, but more Android and the way apps are designed.
With that said, we may see these things replace the cheap PC in the future. Bablysteps....babysteps

Has anyone tried the slow motion yet? I've taken several videos, at night, indoors and outside in bright day light and they all look very very terrible. They look as if they were taken in 480p scaled up. Actually they look like a crappy GIF animation.
Is anyone experiencing the same thing or is it just a problem on my end.
I'll upload a video if anyone wants to see.

Judging by the sample videos posted on YouTube, this is a widespread problem. Even the commenters there noticed how pixelated and fuzzy the image is.
Cmon Samsung... this is one THE best feature that people are looking for, yet you fail so bad.
This stopped me from purchasing the Note 3. With the locked bootloader, no hide application features and now this...
The one on the HTC one S has been the best slow mo cam I've used. Not even the iPhone was compares. I still can't figure out how to use it on the note.
